Does log4cxx substitute environment variables in config files?
Hi,
I heard that Log4J substitutes environment variables in log configuration files, that is, it is able to handle declarations like
<appender name="TRACES_FILE" class="FileAppender">
<param name="file" value="${LOG_DIR}/traces.log"/>
...
(substituting the value for environment variable LOG_DIR)
Can log4cxx do this too?
Especially interested in v0.9.7, as I'm forced to use that version.
I don't see it in the documentation and code for now.
Kind Regards,
Lars R.

Should work there as well, at least the code is present like in newer versions. You may need to start debugging in DOMConfigurator::subst and follow the code from there. It works in 0.10.0 and above, because I use env vars substitution in 0.10.0 myself.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
